Mr. Mikulas demonstrates the uses of the compass to Judy Eberhardt. Math was stressed as a necessity With the advent of the missile age, science and math received a great deal of emphasis the past few years. A workable knowledge of mathematics, therefore, became a necessity. Through prescribed math courses, students found their interests and vocations better realized with such computational training. Through logic and reason- ing, math provided an invaluable aid in our becoming educated citizens. MATH-Mr. Ernest Gifford, B.A., Michigan State Uni- versityg Mr. John Magiera, M.A. Hillsdale Collegeg Mr. I. Walter Vaughan, A.B., B.S., University of Michigan.

The mysteries of science became known to us Science, providing continued progress to all men, was termed a must in today's world. The need for scien- tists was ever increasing.In our science classes and labs, we were exposed to the wonders of the unknown through such courses as physics, chemistry, general science,and biology. Our new school especially made science attractive with the new lab facilities and a fully equipped greenhouse. 'ral . ',r ' Ms' f. K iiit' 9' ,l SCIENCE-Mr. Robert R.
